Hi there everyone,
This is my first post, so treat me gently!
My gf is currently off the pill but we still have unprotected sex (I know, I know we shouldn't and we will stop, but it just feels so good!) My question is what percentage (approx) of protection is afforded if you pull out before you come? I hope someone knows. I'm guessing it would br pretty low about 70 or 80% but I'm not sure. Thanks for your help. I have enjoyed surfing this site for useful info as a guest for some time so I thought I may as well join! I hope I can add to some interesting discussions and help afew of you out in return...

i dont think that this is a very good thing to be doing at all. you should still really use a condom even when shes on the pill cos it aint 100% safe, i know a few people who have still managed to get pregnant on the pill(not wanting to scare anyone here-sorry) why is your girlfriend off the pill?
I think your comment on abstaining is the best thing for my to try and follow. Usuallly we just have oral or manual sex when she is off the pill as I hate condoms, but a couple of times "it just happens"
From our sex myths article:
You can't get pregnant during unprotected sex if the man pulls out before he ejaculates (cums) - false!
Even though your boyfriend doesn't ejaculate, sperm can still be present in his pre-cum (the clear, sticky drops that are released when he's aroused). It only takes one sperm to get you pregnant, and the fluid can also contain sexually transmitted infections. Some men aren't aware that they are ejaculating until it's too late, and it's easy to get carried away in the heat of the moment.
So stop arsing around and either use a condom or wait until she is back on the pill.
End of.
